All of this. Either he and his family knew what was up and were complicit, or they were too stupid to notice.  Those are the two options.   Either is important for the voting public to know, at a bare minimum. 

Remarkable the amount of effort he/she is putting into making everyone move on before the report is ever released. Also a remarkable amount of goalpost moving and misdirection. I had a lengthy exchange with him/her or some version of him/her the other day and it was a carbon copy.  Even the “do you believe” question. …

I think part of the point is that there’s enough evidence of various forms of fuckery by Trump and his minions to either (a) support impeachment articles under multiple theories, even if he can’t ultimately be indicted, and/or (b) support unending investigation and public hearings regarding said fuckery, to ensure that…

To be fair, Trump would go up 5 points in Rasmussen if the day before, he said, “I’m going to go up 5 points in Rasmussen.”

People keep making the mistake of assuming these are bright people. While Barr is a smart guy, his motives were transparent from the beginning. He was just BDTS with a better pedigree. Trump’s regular crew have proved themselves to be nothing but reactive and desperately trying to wag the dog.

Hilarious that their pitch is for people to vote for them in order to be able to see the plan. What a moronic bunch of fucking losers.  

It’s a cult of personality. They played ever more overtly to the racist “base” over decades, and Trump is just the logical conclusion, the monster they created for themselves. While he’s somewhat media savvy, he didn’t mastermind anything. He was the right con man in the right place at the right time.  And the “power”…

Ultimately I don’t think it’s the military (unless Trump tries or order troops to barricade him inside the White House, or surround Congress or something). It’s White House security. If he refuses to go after the new president is inaugurated, they’ll just escort him bodily to the curb.

He’s more primed to wag the dog than any president in history.

You just know that as Trump is talking all of those congressmen and lobbyists and industrialists are whispering to each other over their chicken dinners something along the lines of “Jesus fuck, this guy is a moron.  But we got our judges and tax cut, amirite?”

That’s the thing:  The average Fox viewer is something like 67 years old.  They can’t get up from their recliner in front of the TV, much less stage an insurrection.  The young Proud Boy types are very limited in numbers and not too bright.    I’m less concerned about a power struggle or race war than I am about a few…

This needs to be repeated often, in the press and in congressional hearings. There are only two conclusions possible: Either he knew what was happening and is complicit, or he was too stupid to notice. Either is disqualifying.

I refuse to watch Matthews. He goes on incontinent, incoherent rants, talks over his guests, particularly women, CONSTANTLY (one day he’s going to get punched, I swear).  Is past his sell-by date by about 25 years.

If you’re gonna crime, Chrissake, don’t do it via email.

The oranges must remain anominous.

Great anecdote, but the data don’t support you. Again, PR voters went D by 2x in 2016. Scott heavily courted PR voters in 2018 including visiting the island several times, and won enough votes in key areas to take the senate race — but still did not win the PR vote overall. Other R candidates did worse.

It is true that Caribbean nation politics and government are extravagantly corrupt. Small, poor populations, limited resources, isolation from larger (colonial) authority, havens for laundering foreign money — they’re great little petri dishes for graft. But Trump is still a gigantic douchebag.

Ehhhhh no. Puerto Ricans in Florida voted D more than twice as often as R in the 2016 primary/caucus cycle. The issue is more how many will actually register and vote. I have no doubt the Florida party is more than motivated to rally them.  Also, obvs: Trump is openly trying to fuck them over.   They’ll vote against…

She totally looks like she lives in a single wide and sits out on her lawn chair under the side awning all day on weekdays, drinking Wild Turkey out of a coffee mug and tapping the ashes from her Virginia Slims into another coffee mug with a chipped rim, dressed in a halter top and Daisy Dukes even though she’s 50+, tr…

I happen to believe Virginia Heffernan’s source is real.  The damage control scramble sure supports that conclusion.
